| - I've been wanting to go to this cafe for a while so I was excited to come when a colleague and I decided to have brunch together. I've been seeing it pop up on my social media accounts so I was excited to see if it was worth the hype.
The waitress that took our order was very kind. She offered some great recommendations to us and was very accommodating. My colleague decided on the Not Your Momma's Grilled Cheese (grilled cheese panini with brisket, award-winning bacon jam, tomato, and sautéed kale). I decided on the TNB burger (angus beef burger topped with grilled mac 'n' cheese and bacon jam).
The food came out fairly quickly and man, were the portions huge! Having to use a knife and fork to slice up my huge burger, I went ahead to take a giant mouthful of food.
The food was pretty good. The burger was juicy and fresh and the mac and cheese complimented the bacon jam a lot. Bacon jam was just the way it sounds, sweet and savory at the same time. One recommendation is asking the customers how they would like their burgers cooked, since the server had not asked me for my preference -- though I had no complaints. However, nothing honestly stood out to me that made me want to come running back.
Prices are a little steep, but the portions were worth it. We had more than enough to take home for another full meal.
Though Truffles and Bacon sadly did not live up to the hype, don't pass up this cafe. It has great food and service, just nothing I would drive across town for. Maybe when I'm around I'll come and visit, but there are a lot more options right across the freeway entrance.
